you are the cutest in the world

These two words were still a bit unfamiliar to Wei Xu, who was just in the second grade, but after Wei You wrote them, in Wei Xu's eyes, these two words suddenly had a special color, as if they became familiar all of a sudden.

The old ballpoint pen was finally thrown out of the water by Wei You. He picked up the pen and signed a beautiful name next to the score in the upper left corner of the test paper.

Wei Xu stared intently at the two clear and stretched handwriting, feeling that the dark blue ballpoint handwriting had never looked so good.

"Okay, I can go to sleep, it's almost ten o'clock." Wei You helped him pick up his schoolbag and organize his things while talking, "If you don't sleep, you won't be able to wake up tomorrow."

Wei Xu nodded, carefully folded up the test paper and dictation paper and put them in his schoolbag. At the same time, some small thoughts that were hard to discover passed through his mind.

·

In the early morning of the next day, when Wei You got up to send Wei Xu to school, Wei Shaodong, who was sleeping on the sofa, had disappeared, leaving only a pile of dirty clothes piled on the armrest of the sofa.

Before going out, Wei Xu opened the drawer of the TV cabinet to have a look, then suddenly pouted.

"What's wrong?" Wei You asked.

Wei Xu shook his head and closed the drawer silently.

Wei You remembered the things inside and asked, "Did he give you money?"

Wei Xu remained silent.

Wei You opened the drawer and took a look. Sure enough, the paper box where the change was placed was empty, only a few dimes were left.

For a moment, he felt his anger level soar.

How could there be such a father!

If he wasn't here, then Wei Shaodong planned to let his son drink the northwest wind this week?

Wei Xu seemed to be used to this kind of situation. When he realized that his father hadn't given him pocket money this week, he resigned himself to the door, put on his shoes, and put on his heavy old schoolbag to go out.

Yue Mo found that Wei You's face was not very good-looking, and he comforted him: "Gua Zai saved pocket money last week, it's enough."

Wei You turned to look at him, and looked into those dark eyes for a while.

In the end, he let out a long breath, walked over to take Wei Xu's schoolbag and carried it on himself, then took the key and went to the door, leading the child's right hand down the stairs.

"What do you want for breakfast today?" Wei You asked as he turned out of the corridor on the first floor where old bicycles were parked.

Just now, he made a decision.

Since Wei Shaodong doesn't care about his son, it's up to him to take care of it.

If he remembers correctly, around [-], the whole country will begin to implement free nine-year compulsory education.

Fifteen years ago, prices were so cheap, and you didn’t have to pay tuition fees to go to school, and there were very few interest classes and cram schools. A pair of shoes, he still doesn't believe that he can't afford to raise a child.

"Glutinous rice." Just as Wei You was making plans for the future in his heart, Wei Xu simply replied.

"Eating glutinous rice again?" Wei You came back to his senses and asked, "Don't you want to try something else?"

While talking, the two just came to the breakfast shop in the alley. Wei You stopped and said to the child, "Look, what do you want to eat here?"

It was time for school to start work, and there were many early-rising workers around the door of the store.

The boss opened the steamer, and the snow-white mist flew up, and the walls of the breakfast shop that had been blackened by oily smoke all year round were immediately stained with a hazy atmosphere of human smoke.

"Hey—the siu mai is ready, siu mai, who wants siu mai?"

"Wowotou, four for one dollar..."

Wei You noticed that Gua Zai's eyes stayed on the siu mai, and asked, "Want to eat?"

Wei Xu asked curiously, "What is this?"

"Shao Mai, a steamed food with glutinous rice wrapped in dumpling wrappers." Wei You replied, "How about buying two for you to try?"

Wei Xu pursed his lips and nodded shyly.

"Boss, bring me two siu mai."

"Two for one five." The boss wearing an apron quickly put two siu mai in a plastic bag and handed them to him. "What else do you want?"

Two siu mai must not be enough, Wei You asked again: "What else do you want to eat?"

The child's eyes lingered on the dazzling breakfast for a while, and finally ordered some fried dumplings in the frying pan.

"Boss, another box of fried dumplings."

"Six for one yuan, how many do you want?"

"Come to me for one yuan and five, and then give me another order of fried rice noodles and a cup of salty soy milk."

As Wei You spoke, his gaze inadvertently fell on the bags of fresh milk in the cabinet by the door. He glanced at the short melon cub, and added, "Bring me two more bags of milk."

The total cost of breakfast for two was [-] yuan.

Wei You thought it was quite cheap. After all, he bought so many things, but Wei Xu looked worried at a young age. Wei You asked him what was wrong, but he didn't say anything.

When the two arrived at the school gate, when Wei You put the milk in his schoolbag and told him to drink it today, he suddenly frowned and said, "Milk is so expensive."

Wei You froze for a moment, and then realized what he was thinking just now with a look of pain and hatred on his face.

Such a young child is full of thoughts on how to save money, he is both funny and sad, he touched Wei Xu's head and said: "Don't worry, brother is not very rich, but you can't eat enough for me with such a small appetite." .”

Wei Xu frowned, still looking worried.

Wei You had no choice but to use aggressive methods: "If you really don't want to drink milk, then I won't buy it for you, but when you grow up and become a dwarf, don't blame me then."

Wei Xu frowned even tighter, and asked, "Will I grow taller if I don't drink milk?"

"That's right, my brother drank milk since he was a child, so he is now 1.8 meters tall," Wei You said, "I don't want to grow up and stand beside me like a dwarf, right?"

Wei Xu shook his head quickly.

Wei You squeezed his bulging milk fat: "Since you don't want to, then promise your brother to drink milk and eat well in the future, huh?"

"Ah."

"That's good."

Wei You stood up, transferred the schoolbag to him, and gave him the [-] cents he bought for breakfast as pocket money, then patted his head lightly and said, "Okay, let's go to school, I'll come after school Pick you up, you have to get along well with your classmates at school, you know?"

Wei Xu responded softly, and before turning around, he stretched out his arms to hug Wei You, and then strode towards the school gate with one dollar and fifty cents in his hand.

Looking at his back, Wei You suddenly thought that he should remind him to learn to communicate with his female classmates, otherwise when he grows up, he will become a mother-fetal single dog who can't find a girlfriend like him. Oh no.

But anyway, the child is still young, and it is the age to concentrate on studying, so it will not be too late to remind him when he grows up.

"Wei Xu, why is there only half a sheet of your dictation paper?"

"There is still a test paper, why is there a corner missing?"

"Wei Xu, I asked you something, did you hear me?"

Wei Xu stopped the pencil, his left hand seemed to inadvertently cover what he was writing, then he raised his head and looked calmly at the girl with twin ponytails in front of him, paused for two seconds, and asked, "What's the matter?"

"What do you think? Why is there only half a sheet of your dictation paper left, which is different from ours."

"Isn't it all right if I hand it over?"

The girl choked, and took the test paper in front of him unwillingly: "Then what about your test paper, why is there such a big corner missing, and your parents' signature, it's too perfunctory, this dog crawls It looks like you signed it yourself."

"My father's handwriting is so ugly."

"..."

"Okay, you're good. If the teacher sees it, don't blame me for not reminding you." The girl said this embarrassingly and angrily, and walked out of the classroom with her homework in her arms.

Wei Xu watched her go away, then picked up a pen and continued to slowly write the word "Wei" on the draft pad.

However, his handwriting is so ugly that it has a personal style. No matter how imitated, the written words still have an awkward feeling. Every "Wei" character that comes out of his pen has its own strange and ugly appearance.

"Liu Weiwei is so annoying." As soon as the girl left, Du Shao came to his table, "Why does she always make trouble for you?"

Wei Xu shook his head: "I don't know."

"I also signed it myself. She saw it and didn't ask me." Du Shao muttered, and suddenly seemed to think of something, "Huh", and said happily: "She doesn't think she likes me?"

Wei Xu wondered, "What do you like?"

"me!"

Wei Xu blinked.

He is still very ignorant of this kind of relationship between men and women, and his only contact is Nobita and Shizuka in Doraemon, so he just said "oh" plainly to Du Shao's yelling.

The more Du Shao thought about it, the more she felt it was possible: "The last time I went to her to recite the book, she reminded me if I couldn't recite it, but Zhang Xin couldn't recite it, so she didn't remind me, and last time, when I copied homework, she I saw it and didn't remember my name, so she doesn't really like me!"

Wei Xu: "Maybe."

Du Shao couldn't stand his perfunctory, looked down at what he was writing: "What are you writing, Mogu poetry?"

"No." Facing Du Shao's question, Wei Xu felt a little nervous for no apparent reason, and reflexively put his left hand on the notebook, pretending to be calm and uttered two words: "Practice calligraphy."

"Wow, you are too self-conscious. Last time my dad bought me a copybook and asked me to practice calligraphy. I wrote a page and threw it aside," Du Shao said, "Anyway, there will be a special calligraphy practice class in the future. What."

Wei Xu: "I want to practice earlier."

Du Shao didn't seem to be very interested in this topic, so he responded casually and returned to his seat to continue thinking about whether Liu Weiwei had a crush on him.

Wei Xu moved his hand to look at the lazy words on the page, and then at Wei You's name that he had torn off. Compared with the two, he couldn't help frowning.

Where is it different?

Wei Xu couldn't figure it out, so he picked up a pencil and imitated a row of "you" characters, and sure enough, each one was ugly and unique.

"Tsk!" After wasting another page of draft paper, he curled his lips, thinking that he really should practice his handwriting.
